raise voltages
[Nexus S Android Development] ro_explorer:
I can not .. the phone is hanging and rebooting in 5-10 seconds after the lockscreen is visible, just after boot. There is no time to mess with anything. All I could do is to use ADB from recovery to raise them by script. But this approach is WRONG.

The kernel should boot with STOCK/default voltages/frequencies. The user should be able to lower/raise then as he wishes. I really don't like others to decide what's best for me.

My phone is very very very very very very sensitive to UV/OC ... so I have to stick with stock voltages.
[Nexus S Android Development] SA-07:
Jeez I wasn't "deciding on what's best for you." I just simply gave a suggestion and you chose to take it in a different way...

If you don't want to mess with voltages, it's cool.

I like the kernel how it is
[Nexus S Android Development] ro_explorer:
You misunderstood me ... sorry about that,

I meant - IF the kernel is undervolted by default, then it shouldn't be. If there is a setup (like stock 4.0..3 kernel for example) that is working on ALL phones, no matter how close they are to unstable UV/OC points, then that setup should be considered as golden and all custom kernels should boot in that mode.

The capability for OC/UV should be there, but the default boot should be in the stable mode to say so.

By "letting others decide what's good for me" I meant to have kernels undervolted/overclocked by default ... because I saw developers saying :"that's the best way .. greatest mode .. etc" .. but my phone is not like the "average" phone .. it will just hang if there is even the slightest UV on it ... I have no idea why.

Sorry for not being able to express my thoughts in a very explicit and clear way byt English is not my native language.
[Nexus S Android Development] SA-07:
Haha it's cool ;)

I like my voltage settings tbh, but I do have the kernel boot at 1 Ghz always.

So I feel my voltage settings are pretty good, and they have worked well in my gb kernel too...

But do both cfs and bfs not work for you?

Doesn t boot at all...loop and reboot.

However, other issue is i cannot send mms but with 4.0.4 stock kernel....:what:
[Nexus S Android Development] chad0989:
To whoever posted this in the market:

You installed the kernel incorrectly or something. It obviously works fine with this kernel. In fact, mathkid was my primary tester (he contacted me to work on the patch) and used the widget to test. Make sure after you flash you go into about phone and it has the correct kernel listed.

I also don't appreciate negative market reviews for user error. Thanks.

To all the others who have had success with the widget. Could you please consider posting a review also. Thanks. If you do have an issue feel free to contact me via PM here or an e-mail. I always fix issues (real ones) ASAP.
[Nexus S Android Development] mixtapes08:
Ok now.

1. reflash your rom no wipe needed.

2. Let it boot up.

3. Flash deep idle patch

4. Flash matrix

5. Reboot system now.

Look at the fast charge op in the forum, Chad the dev says where the values are.... from you can make a script or change them manually
[Nexus S Android Development] remick.no:
OK, but that is external app. What I meant was if there is a switch in settings of the system or something.

Anyway - thanks for info - this one at last doesn't look so ugly as that widget I mentioned previously.

OK - no settings within system, but some possibilities while using scripts.

Sounds good.

Thank you guys!

Amazing job as always !

[Nexus S Android Development] chalan30:
If you just browse to sys/kernel/fast charge/ and open the force fast charge file with text editor you can change the value between off and on or by entering 0 or 1
[Nexus S Android Development] RicardoOneri:
Im sure all roms going to implement that option in Sethings, for we dont need to use a external app only to activate that, but for now just use app or enable it with command, bether than nothing :D
[Nexus S Android Development] chad0989:
incredicontrol doesn't fully support the s yet. Pm me if you want to help me test voltage adjustments on it.

If you have suggestions to improve the appearance let me know or mock something up. I take anything into consideration. I used the default styling for gb and ics from Google.

I'll even give you a copy if you have legitimate suggestions.

[Nexus S Android Development] remick.no:
I didn't meant to be mean.

It is matter of taste not functionality. I simply don't like graphics you used.

So far with all good people here help I did task for Tasker, which let me choose if I want to use fastcharge when plug-in USB or not.

When mode is chosen it display flash with proper message. (I tried with TTS, but that was not so cool)

It is not fancy, it has no icons yet - but when I'll find something what suits my taste - I'll add them.
[Nexus S Android Development] chad0989:
That's not going to work as it has to be enabled/disabled before the phone is connected. Changing the value while the phone is connected has no effect.

And like I said, if you have suggestions to improve appearance I take anything into account.
[Nexus S Android Development] cowst:
is there any reason to disable it?
[Nexus S Android Development] chad0989:
If you want to transfer via USB or use adb.
[Nexus S Android Development] cowst:
ah, so it affects other stuff, it is not just a flag setting different charging specs.

thanks.
[Nexus S Android Development] remick.no:
OK - then I was not aware that this value should be changed BEFORE connecting USB.

That changes everything.

I'll use then simple Tasker toggle button to activate/deactivate it.

I don't have good suggestion for you.

I don't want you to change icons/graphics because these are ugly for me. You use them - obviously you like it that way.

As I'd like to see that feature is integration with toggle buttons in notification area where I could easily access them from any place. But I guess that is a little bit too much into the future.

Edit:

I added task for Tasker. Anyone can change icons for own set and later add widget to home screen. Functionality I guess is exactly the same as chad0989 app.
[Nexus S Android Development] remick.no:
Well, actually I could have a suggestion for improvement for your app.

Add in options paths to set icons for both ON and OFF states. Then complaining users like me can change appearance of the app (widget) to individual taste.

Another feature which could be useful is automatically deactivating fastcharging mode after disconnecting USB (of course as an option).

You'd have to purchase tasker from the market first.

You need to have installed Tasker

Then unpack content of the *.zip file to SD Card/Tasker folder.

Start Tasker and go to Task tab.

Long press on Task tab and you'll be able to import saved tasks.

Exit from Tasker by pressing green confirmation icon.

Add Tasker widget to your home screen. Make sure you'll choose Fast Charge as a task for widget.

That's all.

OR if you are absolutely broke...

You could just use romtoolbox (below). and add add a command shortcut to your desktop with the echo commands from Chad0989's own thread

For toggle on

echo 1 > /sys/kernel/fast_charge/force_fast_charge

for toggle off

echo 0 > /sys/kernel/fast_charge/force_fast_charge

Absolutely agree to that.

It's not smart way of spending bucks if only functionality you need from Tasker is editing one file.

There are dozen other alternatives out there which will do the same but cheaper or completely for free.

I personally prefer Tasker since it already do a bunch of jobs on mine Nexus.

Not sure if it's my phone, but I cannot OC without having reboots or freezes when playing videos.

Any other use if fine, but playing videos with Dice player (for mkv's) or Mob player causes instability if I OC as little as 1100.
[Nexus S Android Development] SA-07:
Read the FAQ yet?
[Nexus S Android Development] remick.no:
Hehe - misunderstanding :)

My mistake.

Anyway, it works with tasker.
[Nexus S Android Development] chalan30:
have you tried different governors? some ramp up to max OC speed faster than others and take longer to go back down which can cause your phone to stay at higher frequencies longer. Also since you are at 1100 that tells me that your live oc is at 110%. that right there causes issues for me. i keep mine at 105 but i use the selective live oc feature in the kernel to only oc frequencies above 100 and below 1200. so my range looks like this 100, 210, 420, 840, 1050, 1200, 1300, 1460. I use the scripter in romtoolbox initiate the live oc setting along with the high and low targets at boot. if that doesnt work, start upping voltage 25 across the board, just write down the originals so you can go back.

---------- Post added at 11:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:10 AM ----------

im using it on the 4.0.4 cm9 euroskank kang and it works just fine. but if your worried, try the romtoolbox method. Or ask the dev if there any dependencies in the rom for the widget to work, or is it just dependent on having a kernel that has his patch?
[Nexus S Android Development] chad0989:
It's only dependant on a kernel having the patch. That's all. The guy that said it didn't work clearly didn't flash the kernel correctly. Obvious user error. It works great.

And if anyone does have a problem they can just send me a message and I'll do everything I can to help them out.

[Nexus S Android Development] MaxNXS:
I tried SmartassV2 so far. I went from 1300 OC (100%), to 1200 (100%) and then 1100 (110%). At the end I just gave up on OC and went back to 1000 with the kernel default voltage and so far so good.

Maybe next time I reflash the ROM or kernel I will give it another try.

Math kid I have been using your kernel for a while now its super fast but I had a little problem yesterday as I flashed it on AOSP+ I saw that while using the camera I get these green lines and when I clicked I get a complete gray image.

you activate it by toggling the widget on before you plug in the usb cable to the phone. you shouldnt toggle the widget after you plug in the cable it has to be before. Same with the romtoolbox method
